01
Best overall pick
LaRosa’s Pizzeria Lebanon
Deerfield Road Corridor • Family-Friendly Cincinnati-Style Pizzeria • Local Favorite
A reliable, crowd-pleasing pizzeria with plenty of space for families and big groups.
LaRosa’s is where many Lebanon locals end up when everyone wants pizza but no one wants to compromise. The menu covers thick and thin crusts, build-your-own pies, and shareable appetizers, so it’s easy to keep a table of kids and adults happy. It’s also one of the more comfortable sit-down options in town, with friendly service and predictable weeknight buzz.
02
Best sit-down Italian
Villaggio’s Italian Eatery
Just East Of Historic Downtown Lebanon • Casual Italian Restaurant With Artisan Pizzas • Best For Lingering Dinners
A cozy Italian spot where pizza shares the spotlight with pastas, wine, and an unhurried dining room.
Villaggio’s isn’t a slice joint so much as a full Italian meal experience that happens to turn out very good pizzas. The crust leans more old-world than chain, with thoughtful toppings and plenty of options if someone at the table wants pasta instead. It’s a strong choice when you want a relaxed dinner, a glass of wine, and pizza that feels a step up from basic carryout.
03
Best for customizable carryout
Marco’s Pizza – Columbus Avenue
Columbus Avenue Strip • Carryout And Delivery Pizzeria • Best For Build-Your-Own Pies
A go-to carryout shop with sturdy crusts, generous toppings, and plenty of build-your-own flexibility.
Marco’s on Columbus Avenue is well-situated for quick pickup on the way home or back to a hotel. The appeal here is consistency: chewy crust, balanced sauce, and toppings that land right up to the edge. It’s especially good for custom orders and larger group meals when you need multiple styles of pizza ready at the same time.
04
Best for big-group comfort classics
Pizza Hut – South Lebanon
South Lebanon Retail District Near I-71 • National Chain Pizzeria • Best For Familiar Classics
A familiar name serving pan pizzas, stuffed crust, and wings that are easy to share with a crowd.
The South Lebanon Pizza Hut is a practical choice when you want classic pan pizza and everyone already knows the menu. It’s convenient to the highway and nearby shopping, making it an easy stop after errands or a day out. The variety of crust styles and shareable sides also works well for kids’ gatherings and team outings.
05
Best late-night delivery bet
Papa Johns – Columbus Avenue
Columbus Avenue Near Residential Neighborhoods • Delivery-Focused Pizza Chain • Best For Late-Night Delivery
A dependable choice for garlicky, sauce-forward pies delivered when you’d rather stay on the couch.
Papa Johns on Columbus Avenue is built around quick delivery and straightforward, customizable pizzas. The crust is slightly softer, with that signature garlic butter and pepperoncini that many regulars expect in the box. It’s a strong pick for late evenings, casual TV nights, or hotel stays when convenience matters as much as the pizza itself.
